According to Weltfussball, the Nigerian allegedly made a middle finger gesture to the Stuttgart players after Die Werkself won the trophy after a 4-3 penalty shootout win.
He has now been summoned by the German football authorities, DFB, to provide answers over the alleged gesture, which is deemed foul and provocative.
Match official Tobias Stieler admitted he did not see the incident, leaving it in the hands of the DFB to investigate, which could put the Super Eagles striker into trouble.
According to Ran Fussball, he could land a hefty fine and be suspended for Leverkusen’s title defence opener against Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday.
The former Royal Saint Gilloise forward was pivotal to the title win last season, scoring 16 goals in 23 games despite missing most of the second half with a groin injury.
